m-Fluoro-DL-phenylalanine, a toxic antimetabolite, is a racemic mixture of a substituted (halogenated) benzoyl D and L phenylalanine with potential use in antiviral and antimicrobial drug development.

Voltage-gated sodium channels (NaV) play an important role in general anesthesia. Electrophysiology measurements suggest that volatile anesthetics such as isoflurane inhibit NaV by stabilizing the inactivated state or altering the inactivation kinetics. Recent computational studies suggested the existence of multiple

Efficient bioconversion of glucose to phenol via the central metabolite tyrosine was achieved in the solvent-tolerant strain Pseudomonas putida S12. The tpl gene from Pantoea agglomerans, encoding tyrosine phenol lyase, was introduced into P. putida S12 to enable phenol production.

To elucidate the mechanism of large neutral amino acid (LNAA) transport in cerebral gliomas and to evaluate the clinical usefulness of positron emission tomography (PET) with fluorine-18 fluorophenylalanine (18F-Phe), we examined 18 patients with cerebral glioma using dynamic PET and
The nonlytic, filamentous coliphage M13 offers an excellent model system for the study of membrane-protein interactions. We prepare derivatives of the protein containing fluorine-labeled amino acids and use 19F nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to study the protein in both deoxycholate

A series of di- and tripeptides containing D- and L-m-fluorophenylalanine was prepared and tested in vitro for the ability to inhibit the growth of the yeast Candida albicans. The results demonstrate that peptides containing L-m-fluorophenylalanine inhibited the growth of C.
